Years back, there was a series of events that took place, all capturing the public view. It was a time in which it was popular to label the problem causer as Bipolar. As a result, a stigma developed. A stigma we still fight to overcome, today.
I knew most of my life that there was something odd about my behavior so when the diagnosis was made, I was actually relieved. I finally had a valid excuse.
I find that being bipolar is quite wonderful, having learned how to get the full advantage out of it. The crashes are sometimes a bummer, but the controlled highs are well worth the ride. I have been able to achieve some incredible ideals, that had it not been for bipolar, I never would have contemplated.
On the lighter side, just look at the number of people that spend thousands and thousands of dollars buying drugs to get them where I can go naturally.
There is no cure, this is who I am and I am going to make the most of it.
